According to Ms. Lu Thi L., (born in 1992), residing in Pham village, Tien Phong commune, Que Phong district, Hai Anh's lover, the two had been in love for 9 months and Anh brought L home to introduce her and stayed at his house for a while.

Because Anh and L. were unemployed, their parents urged them to find work, which led to an argument and Anh's parents kicked them out of the house.

On the afternoon of May 23, Anh and L. rented a room to find work. On the evening of May 23, the two argued about money. On the morning of May 24, L. went to her sister's room nearby to play and cooked lunch. After that, she went back to her room and called Anh to come over to eat, but Anh said he wouldn't eat and wouldn't come over.

At 1:00 p.m. the same day, L. called again but only heard a rustling sound in the room. Not hearing her boyfriend answer, L. angrily went back to her room.

At around 4pm, as if having a premonition, L. asked her roommate to come over and knock on the door. She couldn't get through, so she kicked the door open and discovered that her boyfriend had died.

Cua Lo Town Police are continuing to investigate.
